Trainers with Aerodactyls. Did any of you manage to get yours to quit snapping at everything in sight, or is this something I'm going to have to figure out on my own?

[Staring into the screen, Vanitas looks all sorts of nonchalant today, despite the ancient dinosaur with wings having a mouthful of forearm in her jaws. She's a bit smaller than an Aerodactyl is supposed to be, but it certainly doesn't change the annoyed snarl from her face. Really, he's just calling it a baby tantrum; she didn't like that he reached down in the way of her food and took a chomp.

Why the hell does he look like it doesn't hurt? When Sharon growls and tries to grind her teeth more, all she manages is to tear his sleeve a bit and reveal that there is a heavily hammered steel gauntlet beneath the fabric, and while the teeth aren't getting through, they're starting to leave some nasty dents.
]

Anyway, the Pewter gym looks like it'll be easy as hell. It's a rock type gym, right? I guess we'll see if I get surprised at all or not; I did underestimate Celadon's gym once.

[Sharon doesn't like this 'being ignored' thing, and growls louder, gnashing her teeth against the steel.] Gnaw all you want, you big baby. You're not breaking through it, not with how many layers I melted into that thing.

Time, energy, some gray hairs, water guns, a psychic type, and music.

Aerodactyls aren't stupid, at least mine isn't, but they don't understand language like most of the Pokemon in the world.

But until you get it to learn some form of commands, the best way to keep them in line is negative reinforcement.

*Fancy way of saying spraybottle to the face. Which for Imogen and Aglon is having Brenn shooting the dinosaur out of the sky.*

That's how I fixed the language thing. I borrowed a Psychic type from Foofyku to translate musical cues to battle commands. Showing an image of the attack into Aglon's brain while I played a cue. It took a lot of work, but well worth it.

Dunno if music is the right answer all the time, but it's right for me.

Maybe she's teething? [ she'd be a bit more worried if she hadn't already seen one. SEEMS LIKE GIANT TERROR BEASTS AS PETS IS SOMETHING NORMAL HERE.

instead she's going to focus on that gauntlet. ]


Oh, what well-made armor though... [ that'd be madly handy for training with pokemon...or going to war. ]

Aw...is it itchy or painful, little miss? [ yeah, she's going to just. coo a little at the giant dragon bird thing. ]

Wow, are you a blacksmith? It looks like it'd be really handy especially uh.... [ she watches her gnaw. ] Especially for that.

[ talking about weapons and armor is much too distracting for her to notice his vicious animal not responding to words. ]

Really? That's incredible! And here I thought no one used armor and weapons in this world! It's so silly, if there are bandits why did they take away our weapons! [ she clasps her hands together and just kind of stares into the video intensely, he has her respect and admiration. and possibly some sparkles. ]

[personal profile] papshooshing 2013-03-18 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Asking seems completely asinine at this point, Vanitas.

[personal profile] papshooshing 2013-03-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Ah huh.

[ sounding a little smug there, huh? or maybe that's just teasing. ]

[ So, guess who's sitting in front of the PC at the PokeCenter in Cherrygrove, watching this broadcast? Hikaru is. Why? Because her Gear is broken and Nurse Joy only just revealed to the redhead that the network can be accessed through the PC. Ah, the wonders of technology and -- ]

[ It's probably a good thing Valeria isn't in the immediate vicinity or Vanitas' Aerodactyl would very likely be receiving a prompt falcon punch in the snout. She may yet if she's still acting up by the time Valeria gets there. ]

It's a rock-type gym, yes. You'll be facing Brock and his Rhyhorn, Golem, and Onix. From what I've seen of them, they're a formidable team.

[ And she'll be nodding in the general direction of the camera, specifically at that gauntlet. She sees what you did there, Vanitas, and it tugs a smile out of her. ]

Nice handiwork, by the way.

[personal profile] when_turks_fly 2013-03-28 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That is the regular challenge, yes. I'm sure I've seen his elite team at some point, but I've been more focused on the regular.

[ Which makes her a bit less help than she might otherwise be. Whoops! She smiles as he lifts his arm, screen still bobbing a bit. ]

So I see. You'll have to let me know next time you go to work. I'd like to watch, if you don't mind!

[ She shakes her head. ] He can't. I've checked.

I'll be judge of that. She seems pretty feisty, at any rate. Stubborn, too.
